Yes Ughmahedhurts, & I dont use it because it annoyed me the same as you. I was trying to explain to the OP how it could be done because what annoys me, may be just what he was looking for, lol.

I personally just watch my other toons, & occasionally tap the /follow button.

I do however use the /relay whispers, & the autoquest/autogroup/etc options. Very nice addon overall.
